update-manager shows up wrong date

[Bremm]

Binary package hint: update-manager

System is really up-to-date, but even after sync'ing and instaling new updates, update-manager shows up that the last sync was 5 days ago (and yesterday, it was 4 days ago).

Looks like it can't update the last sync'ing date for some bizarre reason...

Thanks for your bugreport.

Could you please open a termianl and run:
$ sudo apt-get update
and attach the output? It records the last succesfull update, if one of your sources.list entries fails, it does not count that.

dl.google.com repo is a slug, but it does fine after some cup of coffee.

Until last night it was showing up "12 days since last update" and opening now, showed up "8 hours". And after looking for new updates, "less than one hour". :-)
